Biker found partially submerged in creek

A critically injured dirt bike rider has been airlifted to hospital after being found partially submerged in a creek near Gympie, north of Brisbane.

A spokeswoman for the AGL Action Rescue Helicopter service said it appeared the injured man and a second person were riding together on the same bike along Henry Road on Saturday in Goomboorian, 20km northeast of Gympie, when they lost control and crashed into Ginger Creek.

It was believed the crash happened some hours before a registered nurse, on her way to work, came upon the accident.

She provided first aid to the man while the AGL Action Rescue Helicopter flew to the scene.
